Your eyes will marvel at its viewpoints, located in wonderful natural parks and picturesque villages.

Your taste buds and nose with its delicacies, its brandy, its wine, its beef skewers and its fish. Your fingers will find pleasure in touching its sea, its wicker products, its banana and sugar plantations and its vines that extend as far as the eye can see. Discover the interesting "Tour of the North, Porto Moniz and Funchal" and prepare to get an in­depth insight into the entire north of the island, from Ponta de Säo Lourenço to Porto Moniz. You will also discover the best of the west, one of the highest cliffs in Europe, Cabo Girão, and unique valleys with spectacular viewpoints such as Encumeada. Two days will be dedicated to Funchal, the capital of Madeira. There is so much to see in this city. Discover its culture, its cuisine, its nature ... and its famous basket sled rides that hurtle down, without brakes, from Monte to the city. Getting around by car is the best way to truly get to know the island, so waste no more time and get to know Madeira behind the wheel! Get ready for a once­in­a­lifetime experience. Departures: from January 2021 till December 2021 Destinations: Funchal, Santana, Porto da Cruz, Machico, Caniçal, São Vicente, Porto Moniz, Achadas Da Cruz, Ponta Do Pargo, Lombada Dos Marinheiros, Faja Da Ovelha, Prazeres, Estreito da Calheta, Ponta Do Sol and Câmara De Lobos. Categories: Nature and Family. Day 1: City of origin ­ Funchal ­ Norte de la Isla (Ribeiro Frio National Park ­ Faial ­ Santana) Flight departure from the city of origin to Madeira and rental car pick­up. Get ready to uncover all of Madeira's secrets! Departure to the north of the island. The entire coastline provides travellers with amazing scenery of mountains that tumble into the ocean waters. With our car we will cross the Ecological Park of Funchal and the Natural Park of Riberio Frio. If you have time, and as you are at the halfway point, you can make a visit here. Entering Ribeiro Frio is like penetrating the purest nature protected by mountains. Many hikers are drawn here by its trails and the desire to discover their hidden secrets. A visit to the trout farm and fish hatchery is not to be missed. One that should end in sampling a freshly prepared trout. A little over 20 minutes away is Pico do Arieiro, towering some 1,818 metres above sea level, it is one of island's highest points. It is the only peak whose observation point is accessible by car, therefore you don't need to climb all the way up on foot. As you ascend you will see the green forests of Madeira disappear making way for cleaner and more barren scenery in the middle of a steep but equally verdant mountain.With its clear blue sky it is a photographer's paradise. It will be difficult to tear yourself away from the view, but do not worry because there are more jewels still to be discovered. It is time to continue discovering the island's contrasts, because now we head towards the coast, to Faial to be precise, a coastal town whose name comes from the area's native beech trees. A good way to start the visit is to take a stroll around the fishing port, breathe in the sea breeze and watch the fishermen working with their nets. One of the country's best karting circuits is nearby. You can also enjoy the beach. It is pebble, but you can swim there in the summer as it is sheltered from the ferocity of the Atlantic. Do not miss the Fort of Faial that still has several original cannons once used by the villagers to fend off invaders. You can enjoy one of the most spectacular sunsets from here. As a matter of fact, it is rated as one of the 25 most beautiful sunsets in the world. After half an hour's drive you will reach the colourful town of Santana. Colourful due to its traditional architecture of unique triangular wooden huts built with thatched roofs. From here you can choose to take one of the many interesting routes. You can head to Parque das Queimadas, where Pico Ruivo is located, the highest peak of the island at 1,861 above sea level, and the Laurel Forest, a relic of the past now rarely found in the world. It is the largest remaining laurel forest and is home to a unique collection of plant and animal species. This is why it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. (Note: If you want to see it, you must book in advance). Or, you have one last option. You can enjoy a 300­metre waterfall that tumbles 17/01/2021 1 Portugal (Madeira): Route around the North, Porto Moniz and Funchal, tailor­made by car by UNESCO. (Note: If you want to see it, you must book in advance). Or, you have one last option. You can enjoy a 300­metre waterfall that tumbles into a small pool of ferns in the Caldeirão Verde (Green Cauldron). A wide range of options to satisfy everyone's tastes. Overnight stay in Santana. Day 2: North of the Island (Santana ­ Porto da Cruz ­ Machico ­ Caniçal ­ Ponta de Säo Lourenço ­ Santana) Make sure you have a hearty breakfast today because you have a long day ahead of you to enjoy. Today you will visit the northeast coast of Madeira. We leave Santana and head for Porto da Cruz. Porto da Cruz is famous for its surfing and surrounding hiking trails. Its name came from the cross that was built on the coast to signal the port to Portuguese explorers. Nowadays, it is a picture­postcard rural village with zigzag streets and white houses with gardens that create a peaceful haven. The ruins of its 18th­century citadel and the Solar da Nossa Senhora de Belém, a manor house dating back to 1770, remind the traveller of its past. Porto da Cruz conserves part of its history of sugar production and still has the refinery where rum and "dry wine" is produced, which has become so popular that an annual festival is held. You can discover its spectacular nature at Vereda do Larano, on the edge of a cliff some 300 metres above sea level. Naturally, the views merit more than just one photograph to take home as a reminder. If you feel like taking a dip, you will find a range of facilities at Praia da Lagoa to enjoy a day in the water. A 20­minute drive is Machico, a landmark municipality in Madeira's history. Gonçalves Zarco and Tristäo Vaz Teixeira landed here in 1419 when they discovered Madeira. The bay of Machico with its Banda Além, a 125­metre long beach of yellow sand, is enclosed in a valley and protected by the Pico do Facho. A man­made beach that is considered one of the best beaches in Madeira. And from the top of its mountains you will reach another of the island's spectacular viewpoints: the viewpoint of Portela. Nearby is the small fishing port of Caniçal, which until 1981 was the last whaling port in southern Europe. If you want to know more about its past and how they captured these animals, visit the Whale Museum. However, if you want to get more up close to nature, why not hop on board one of the boats that leave the pier to watch some whales and even swim alongside dolphins! (Note: Tour not included). Afterwards, relax in Prainha with its volcanic black sand, before taking a table at one if its restaurants to try one of the local specialties­ tuna. After lunch we head to the tip of Säo Lourenço, one of the last unspoilt places in Europe. A combination of rock formations that join with the sea and contrast with its sparse vegetation. From here you can take in breathtaking views of both the north and south of the island and, on clear days, you can even see the island of Porto Santo. Return and overnight stay in Santana. Day 3: North of the Island ­ West of the Island (Santana ­ Ponta Delgada ­ São Vicente ­ Porto Moniz) We leave Santana behind to head for Ponta Delgada, less than an hour's drive along the roads of the north coast. It is popular for its famous religious festival of Senhor Bom Jesus that attracts thousands of pilgrims every September. Celebrations aside, this small coastal town is also a good place to enjoy the sun as it has recently created a complex of saltwater pools with a range of bathing facilities. And they have been created right on the seashore, with the best views of the bay. However, its waters are not the only reason to visit Ponta Delgada, there is also the picturesque 15th century church of Imaculado Coraçao de Maria, again located on a prime spot by the sea.

  • Trip Report - Madeira 13-27 August 2003 by Magnus Unger
    Trip report - Madeira 13-27 August 2003 By Magnus Unger Travel info I and my girlfriend booked our trip via the Swedish travel agency Fritidsresor. The first week we stayed at Hotel Luamar at the western part of Porto Santo and for the second week we had rented a car and stayed at Hotel Gorgulho in the western part of Funchal close to Lido. The car was a Volkswagen Polo with only 1.2 litre engine so most of the time I had to drive on gear 1-3, while the gear 4 and 5 was almost only used on the motorway between Ribeira Brava and Machico. The second week we drove 930 kilometres and fuelled the car with 77 litres, so despite the non-economic driving the car used less than one litre per 10 km. Day by day report 13 August The flight from Stockholm arrived at Madeira 13:00, then flight to Porto Santo. In the evening I took a walk up in the mountains west of Ponta towards Pico das Flores. Here at a 3-way crossing near the Miradouro das Flores I saw a couple of Rock Sparrows. 14 August A morning walk before breakfast to Ponta da Calheta where I saw the first Cory’s Shearwaters for the trip. After breakfast we walked to the centre and up to the Tanque pond where I found a Little Stint and a Gargany, probably the first for Madeira. In the afternoon relaxing and bathing in the sea. 15 August At Ponta da Calheta before breakfast I saw my first Fea’s/Zino’s Petrel although it was distant the black underwing showed well.

  • Holiday on Madeira 7.-14.2. 2004
    M A D E I R A 7.–14.2.2004 Heikki & Sinikka Karhu We spent a pleasant Funchal-based package holiday week in Madeira, mainly relaxing ourselves, flower-watching and hiking, but also doing some man- and birdwatching. On four days we used a rent-a-car, and briefly visited some of the key birding areas: Ribeiro Frio (saw Trocaz Pigeon at 2nd try), Machico (Common Waxbills), Porto Moniz (Little Shearwater) and Cap Sao Lourenco. Most of the time was spent idling in Funchal. A Roseate Tern was the higlight in the Harbour there. Weather: The weather was sunny and warm, in Funchal early morning temperature +15, afternoons +20–25 C. In mountains not that warm, but not very cold either. Warm clothing was important up there, anyway. No rain, exceptionally? Driving: Driving was relatively easy and the new motorway along South Coast, the tunnel between Ribeira Brava and Sao Vicente (South and North Coast) and the tunnels between Faial and Machico (NE part of the island) make moving in these areas fast. Between Sao Vicente and Porto Moniz there are new tunnels under construction. Driving took time, but the distances were surprisingly short and we had to fill the tank just once, at Machico 95E Gasoline cost 96 c/l. Parking in Funchal center: Our hotel Do Centro was situated in Funchal center. Ideal base for human-watching, a cheap hypermarket next door, but no parking places for the car. A night in a nearby P-house cost 6-10 euro. Maps: The maps we found, could be better for driving.
